Leopard Figure – Bronze – Asante – Ghana

Beautiful bronze animal from the Asante people of Ghana. Bronzes are probably the most famous bronzes of African art.
The leopard is a mighty and powerful royal animal, which rules the savanna as the king rules over his people. It also serves as a symbol of justice.

Made by the lost wax method, which make this item unique.
